6 Glimpsing Back (1/2)

The Grand Moff looked over the group of people whom surrounded him.

Captain Korro was standing beside the Monarch of Naboo whom was seated beside him, Iden and Del were seated in front of his desk and Kraytia was just dancing to her tunes. It somewhat reminded him of the past.

Getting up from his seat, the two members of inferno squad would watch as he turned his back to them and stared out the window. The ship had now moved into a synchronized orbit with the planet. His eyes were glaring out into the abyss. It definitely felt like it was looking back at him, just like the Earth's philosopher once said.

He closed his eyes passionately and listened to the gentle hum of the warship as it idled. If he was tired enough, he could just fall asleep standing up. He wasn't tired though, he felt like he was just getting started as so many things had happened today.

It had only been two years since this whole world fell into his lap. Until someone else's life became his own. He remembered the day that he woke up in someone else's body with the same first name as himself.

...

Two years ago he woke up on the planet of Ando Prime in his Imperial Estate. Before even opening his eyes he took in the scent of blood, and soon the taste of it. Opening his eyes as he instinctively wiped his upper lip.

He soon found that he had once been bleeding from both nostrils and his body felt as if it was on fire. Though the feeling quickly faded, as if whatever it had been was expelled from his body.

Glancing over towards a nearby empty glass, he stared at it for a few moments before gazing over at the woman draped in sheets laying beside him.

[ Welcome Host, you have been fully integrated into the body of Tobias Rune. I am your Wookiepedia System. I hold all the knowledge of the universe that you call Star Wars. I'm sorry to say that the Legends Roster has been filled, so you've been added to the NuCanon Alternate Universe, but only you have your memories intact due to the transmigration process. ]

At first he was confused seeing this text appear in front of him. But soon after it had appeared, it faded out of view and he could concentrate on the woman who was huddled up beside him. Seeing her open one eye and make an expression of confusion. He simply smiled down at her for a few moments before turning his head to see a young girl standing over him. Her shadow blocking the light reflecting from the snow outside his main window.

The girl had a knife in her hand, clearly looking angry.

”Why didn't the poison work!?” The pint sized slasher cried out and went to lunge, but all of a sudden as he reached out his arms to block her, the girl was thrown across the room by an invisible concussive energy.

The girl smashed into the pocket door of the closet, causing it to collapse partially inward before letting her slide down to the ground. The girl with the knife was unconscious, shallowly breathing.

”Tch,” the woman who had been sleeping huddled up to his side seemed to be disappointed. She went to reach under the pillow to grab something.

However a few seconds before she could do so, Tobias had a flash of precognition. She was pulling out a blaster, she was going to shoot him. Visible he frowned and use the force to summon the weapon to his hand. This was much to her surprise, a look of shock and awe on her face.

”And here I thought I was being a just Governor of the Sectors assigned to me...” He said without thinking what he was talking about. It was as if he had the life of someone else's. Oh, that's right. He was placed in the body of someone with the same name.

He chuckled to himself with the realization based on what the System had informed him of. He felt rather stupid. It kind of reminded him of those transmigration novels he often read. Wait, the system said something about NuCanon?

After chuckling, he seemed to openly frown, especially after the girl spoke up.

”That's why you're going to die here, Moff.” The woman said as she lunged forward to grab hold of his throat. Yet as she did so, she felt the blaster barrel pressed between her exposed chest. She found herself shoved onto her back by the weapon and the man knelt one on of her arms, while holding the wrist of the other.

Within a blink of an eye, with reflexes he barely understood, he had disarmed the woman. ”Last night was pleasant. I'm guessing you've come to remove me, try harder next time.” The woman raised a brow when she was told to try harder next time.

She immediately thought he was going to let her go, that was until she heard the expulsion of a bolt. The pain was immense, but it ended quickly. Her eyes had widened in surprise and agony, the light quickly fading and her body falling limp beneath him.

”Mi'Lord!?” An Imperial Uniform clad Zabrak woman with dark brown hair and olive toned skin came crashing into the room. Her horns had been sanded down to stumps. Blaster drawn having heard the weapon fire. Her green eyes looking over the scene.

At first she thought this was just some sick twisted game he was playing with people's lives until she saw the blood from his nose and the young girl with weapon laying beside her a good distance from the bed.
